As preparations begin for
Sabeel’s International Young Adult Conference that will be held from July 22 to
August 2, we pray that many young adults from around the world will be able to
attend. We pray that their home communities will make it possible for them to
visit Palestine and Israel. We also remember the
conference planners as they try to put together a program that educates
and equips the participants to work for a just peace.
We pray for the ecumenical group
of clergy gathering this Friday in Bethlehem.
May their time together help strengthen the ties between the different
Palestinian Christian denominations and provide inspiration for communities
living under occupation.
This week, we pray for the
residents of Jerusalem
who are finding it increasingly difficult to live in the city. In the past week
there has been a surge of housing demolitions leading up to the Israeli
election. Additionally, international peace, aid, and development workers have
recently faced unprecedented difficulty in obtaining visas necessary to working
in the region. We ask that God will ease the pressures that are being placed on
both local and international families.
We pray for the victims of the
wildfires in Australia.
We pray for comfort for the families of the nearly 200 people who have died and
for God’s mercies upon the 900 families who are now homeless. We ask that the
fires be brought under control before more people are injured.
